Finney said she is happy to still be in the race, and hopes residents vote in the special election.

“I am excited I came in second, and I appreciate everyone who voted for me,” she said. “(However), I was disappointed in the low voter turnout.”

Over the next month, Finney said she will be continuing to promote her campaign, and she wants to focus on bringing back curbside recycling, eliminating the franchise tax on residents’ cable bills and improving the housing stock.

“I want to get my message out that I can dedicate the time to be a full-time mayor,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the runoff election in December.”
